Spread of Misinformation
In these past couple of days there have been massive rumors sweeping the U.S. at a highschool and college level regarding the use of Juuls and a supposed antifreeze in them that causes horrible lung cancer. There is no legitimate evidence backing up these claims and it is possible that this was a stunt pulled by another vape/nicotine distributor to delegitimize the safety of Juuls. Even with this absence of evidence, enough confusion has been created to actually get people to stop using, or throw away their Juuls. With this type of propaganda being distributed it is easy to see how Hitler could have turned many good people against the Jews.

I think this is an interesting connection that relates present day to the past. Even though it is still hard to imagine how so many believed in Hitler's ultimate propaganda I did notice how no evidence was needed to start this rumor and alot of people that I know even came out and said many of their friends were affected and had gotten lung cancer from their juuls in the past week.
